The United States is days away from a total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8, the first total solar eclipse since 2017, with Colorado residents experiencing a partial eclipse from late morning to early afternoon. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the sun. Although Colorado is not in the direct path of totality, the path of the 2024 total solar eclipse will cross North America, starting in Mexico, then travel northeastward through the United States and into Canada. Coloradans will experience approximately between 55% to 78% totality during the two-hour event. All 48 contiguous states on that date will experience at least a partial solar eclipse. The path of totality will reach communities from Texas to Maine. Durations longer than 4 minutes will stretch from Texas as far north as Economy, Indiana, according to NASA.
